The host lake will be off limits for fishing, scouting, and info from anyone other than your team partner starting at 12:01am, Monday, September 21st. The lake will reopen for fishing, scouting, scoping, and scanning beginning at 5am on Friday morning, September 25th, and lasting until 6pm, allowing for a full day of practice prior to the event.
I am going to relax the dock talk rule slightly this year as I feel it limits our guys' ability to fellowship. During the off-limits periods Monday thru Thursday, you are limited to fishing conversations with your team partner only. During official practice and competition days, dock talk will be restricted to only pre-registered State Teams Qualified Contestants.
We want to see a lot of fellowship, but please be careful with the dock talk during the Monday thru Thursday off-limits periods as we will be randomly selecting individual contestants for polygraphs related to activities during the Monday thru Thursday off-limits periods.
Please remember: NO scouting, scanning, or scoping after 6pm on Friday, September 25th. No exceptions!
All anglers MUST BE PRE-PAID OR REGISTERED BY TEXT COMMITMENT to practice on Friday.

We are excited to bring our faithful J C Outdoors Bass Trails Anglers this $10,000 First Place Championship on a great fishery!
